“Koh-i-noor” is a unique, ethnic and very Indian apartment which you will fall in love with. It's located in a one-of-a-kind exclusive resort called Zen Gardens, in Benaulim, South Goa.
Here are some comments from our wonderful guests to date:
"We are very sad to be leaving Koh-i-noor! We have had a great stay in your lovely comfortable home from home and we will certainly come back again." Avril and John; Oct2008.
"The apartment was great, if next in Goa we will be definitely be looking to stay here and shall recommend to friends. Fantastic apartment. Great staff." Mr and Mrs Visvanathan, Nov2008.
Koh-i-noor comprises a large living room, very spacious bedroom with a massive King size bed, big bathroom and a fully loaded kitchen with modcons that you would expect. The living room has a charming low level sofa, which easily gets converted into 2 single or one double bed for 2 additional adults. I designed this piece myself to suit our needs of having comfortable extra beds for the family. There is also a private balcony from the bedroom, facing the woods. There is a large 1.5 ton Air Conditioner in the bedroom and also ceiling fans for a comfortable stay.
The CD cum DVD player with a flat screen television has Satellite connected and a wide selection of DVDs (both English and Hindi if you fancy a taste of Bollywood!) have been retained for your viewing pleasure. All plug points are universal ie you can plug in with any type of plug without the need to carry along adapters. The kitchen has a dining table with 4 chairs and the usual modcons you can expect (toaster, oven, kettle, microwave and a fridge-freezer). Installed is a water purifier for safe drinking water and a fridge-freezer.
The cooking system installed is a hassle free electric stove, rather than the more dated Gas cylinder system that is in most Goa homes. An inverter in the apartment ensures you never go without essential points functional. Unusually for rental properties, we also provide a washing machine to assist you with doing your own laundry during your stay! The balcony has a table and 2 chairs for you to enjoy the natural bounty of Goa.
Zen Gardens – Some Details ‘Exclusive’, ‘beautifully landscaped’, ‘secure’ and ‘peaceful’. These are the words that come to mind to describe Zen Gardens. A community of a select few owners, this resort offers you many benefits. With a beautiful raised private party place next to the pool, the pool itself has a separate children’s area with steps that allow safe access and exit. There is ample and secure car parking should you decide to hire your own car to move about. Planned for the resort is a restaurant, though there is a wide range of very nice food available from both the beach shacks close by and the speciality restaurants in the vicinity.
South Goa is emerging to be the preferred destination for travellers who want quality time on their holiday. It offers a lot more tranquil and laid back pace of life and most 5 star hotels and resorts are located here and not in the very crowded and ‘touristy’ north. The more famous true Goan eateries like Martin’s corner are also located in South Goa, just a short drive from Zen Gardens.
A short walk from here is the Benaulim beach, a welcome reprieve from the overcrowded beaches of the North – and yet it offers all that you would expect: local shacks with yummy food, stalls to buy local handicraft, beach activities on offer etc. Colva beach, which is considered to be one of the active beaches of Goa is only a few minutes drive away and is the ‘next’ beach from Zen Gardens. If you are new to Goa, the apartment comes with a local contact, an expert in the area who can guide you to activities of interest. You will be given his mobile number for any queries.
